Then go ahead, put it in a DC. Can't run that at home unless you have a way of not hearing it.

I actually run it in the backroom of a small business - but the other day it became so noisy (seemingly out of the blue that morning) at 70% fans they asked me to shut it down remotely until i could come in later the day and correct the noise issues.

If all goes well the unit will be in a bitcoin colocation by the end of the month with $0.05/kWh power

Ok, Con knows of the issue, it will be fixed soon.
For now use previous version for p2p.

Did the 1.4.2 firmware update do something to disable mining on p2pool?  I have updated, and now my SP10 will not connect to ANY p2pool node.  I can connect to Eligius, BTCGuild, GHash, etc.  My local p2pool node?  No.  Any other p2pool node?  No.  Before anyone asks... yes, my local node is up.  I can confirm this because my 2 S1s are happily hashing away on it.  I have also pointed those two to another p2pool node and they hashed there as well.

Thanks for the help.

It’s hard to tell as the mechanical details of the holes and the screws are missing.
It seems to me that the “One Space (1U) Rack Mount Bracket (Ear)MCM Part #: 555-13214  |  Penn Elcom Part #: R1206/1U” won’t fit while the “Cisco STK-RACKMOUNT-1RU Rackmount Brackets” seems to fit.
Please verify the screws are #6-32 x 3/8”.
In addition, those mounting brackets are not adjustable so please pay attention to the SP10 depth which is 475mm and the rack rails distance

Thanks a lot. I guess, I will just give it a try with Cisco, does not cost that much. Will let you know.

Please write to me and remo, i would like to investigate. Did others here get degradation or hw error increase with some specific version?
My test miners show up to 3% difference between self reported and pool. Do you see more?

zvisha has been helping me out the last day or so with troubleshooting and getting some temporarily-lost stability back to the miner, however, i am still having some slight issues:

1) fans at 70% used to be fine but as of today sounded terrible. ive soundproofed somewhat and reduced to 60%, but its still a similar volume to what an unmuffled 60% would have sounded like last week. Without a dB meter i could be crazy though - getting this in a DC is top priority. the unit also has very slight vibrations that go away if i put a few pounds of pressure on the middle back edge of the lid.

2) The unit seems to always have a 10% or higher (right now, its about 16%!) error rate, even after hours of operation, temperatures of 26/77C, and most of the chips at 77C with a few at 113C.  Miner says 1.41Th while the pool says 1.25-1.3TH.  What is the accepted/error ratio for others?

the product is excellent, but it needs to be operated in a datacenter or somewhere that the fans running at 90-100% wont burst eardrums. I would really love to see the SP10 fit in an SP30 case to better dissipate the heat and use bigger/quieter fans.  Most DC racks cant handle anywhere near the 40-50kW draw that the SP10 and SP30 models enable

I was also always getting 1.3TH consistently, then put the new firmware on. Now I'm down to 1.2TH. So I'm going the other way. I'm still on a 110V circuit and get switched over to a 208V soon so hopefully I'll see the nice 1.45TH that I see in all the Spondoolie video's.

The height of the Miner is 1.25U but standard 1U rack mount ears may fit


Can we use these or these?

Didn't you hear the news, they sold all remaining Sp-10 to Taras [LNU].

Biodom, I have an order for 2 SP10 from June batch, i guess you were just too late. that's how it is mucker  Cheesy
a s-t-a-t-u-s update - you perceive this to mean something other than a s-t-a-t-u-s update.

Don't act so butt-hurt about it.

+10 for Sponds:

OK ... so I have x2 SP10s ... and one was behaving below spec ... I have to say, the support from Spondoolies was exemplary.

Remo and Zvisha reacted VERY quickly to emails, gave good advice and online support ... and now my below average SP10 has become the quickest of the two!

Never before have I seen such dedication to a product, and dedication to the customer before in the BTC world.

Rock!

... Just wish I'd ordered some more SP30s in the GB ... OH WELL!




+1 - Hats off to Guy and his hand picked crew without question.

I don't think anyone here has a magic crystal ball accurate enough to predict the btc/usd rate and btc difficulty in 3 months, let alone 3 months after that.
